📢 Introducing the #ordisrespector bot on #nostr.

Twice a day, it will send a note with key metrics comparing an inscription-spammed mempool with a clean one.

#[0]

Lots of folks have argued with me that filtering spam would give completely bogus fee estimates. My experience so far is that the above example is representative:

Most of the time ordinal txs are 10% or 20% of the total unconfirmed txs, but account for a staggering 50% of the memory usage/unconfirmed blocks, while fees don't change that much (it makes sense, if the highest paying txs are not ordinals).

If you run your own node you can vote which one of these mempools you want it to be *the mempool* 🫵
